Pay Bill Introduced;
Calls For 10.7% Hike
House Armed Services Committee Representative L.
Mendel Rivers has kept his promise to the serviceman in
introducing a new pay raise that totals one billion dollars.
This new pay hike is an attempt to align the serviceman’s
pay with that of civilian government employees doing com-
parable work as that of the military man. This is the first
step in this direction for the House Armed Services Com-
mittee.
The new pay raise will give the^
enlisted men and officers in the
“under two year” category the
largest increase in many years.
Officers in this group will re-
ceive from 20.6 to 22.2% increase
and the enlisted man from 13 to
33.8%.
5% Minimum Over 2
Personnel with more than two
years in uniform will get a mini-
mum of 5% and maximum of
15.8% for officers and warrant
officer ranks and a range from
8 to 15.3% for the enlisted ranks.
The largest amount dollar-wise
in the pay hike will go to two
star officers in pay grade 0-8
with an increase of $172 a month.
In the enlisted ranks, the biggest
boost goes to the E-7’s with a
raise of $57.00 per month.
An average increase, states the
new pay bill, will provide a year-
ly increase of $311.00. The aver-
age hike for officers will be $521;
for the enlisteds, it will be $281.
Enlisted % Higher
In percentages, the enlisteds
fair better with an average in-
crease of 12.2 and officers will
receive 7.3 which brings a com-
bined average of 10.7%.
Result Of Study
This new pay bill has for the
first time in thirteen years intro-
duced a pay hike for members
in the armed services with under
two years, the new bill provides
these men in the enlisted ranks
will total about $16 more per
month. For officers with under
two years ,the new bill provides
for an average of 22 percent
raise, or $55 per month.
The new pay bill is the result
of a panel that was set up by
President Johnson to study and
evaluate military pay as com-
pared to other government em-
ployment programs. L. Mendel
Rivers, chairman of the panel,
said to Navy Times, “Many
months ago I promised the mem-
bers of the uniformed services
and their dependents that I would
introduce what I considered to be
an adequate pay bill. I have kept
my promise. My conscience is
clear. The fate of this bill is up
to the Congress, the Administra-
tion, and above all, the attitude
of the American people.”
Fairness Dictates
Rivers said that in the “Ameri-
can tradition of fairness and
equality,” military pay should be
based on “what level of pay is
just and adequate,” not on “how
little we can pay.”
As reported to Navy Times,
Chairman Rivers gave this ex-
planation of how the rates in his
bill were arrived at:
“An attempt was made to de-
velop a level of pay equivalent
to the total wages or salary of
a civilian federal employee per-
forming the same general level
of responsibility.
Allowances Considered
This level was reduced to ac-
commodate the approximate
amounts of quarters and subsi-
stence allowances plus the esti-
mated tax advantage on these
allowances, plus the estimated
6V2 percent contribution that ser-
vice personnel would have to pay
toward their retirement if they
were civilian government employ-
ees.
This new pay hike, which still
has to go to the House will go
into effect one month following
the date of the president’s signa-
ture.

CARGO TO UNLOAD—Men of the Supply Department prepare to
unload the truck’s cargo that arrived at Navy Supply Warehouses.
One man holds the straps so the fork lift’s teeth will take hold.
Navy Supply Unloads 1,265
Measurement Tons Of Cargo
Approximately 40 truck-loads of
general cargo were unloaded at
the Navy’s Supply Warehouses
here last Sunday .
The shipment came via the
Moore-McCormick Lines’ Moore-
McTrade cargo ship that arrived
at Reykjavik harbor Saturday
morning.
The ship carried approximately
1,625.4 measurement tons of cargo
manifested from Bayonne, N. J.,
not counting other supplies from
Norfolk which were stowed on
the same ship.
The men from Supply, under
the supervision of Eugene E.
Segee, SKI, unloaded the ship-
ments.
Intramural Bowlers Get Hot;
Nyeholt Rolls A 625 Series
61/ Paul Jordan
The keen spirit of competitive play is felt each Tuesday
and Thursday night when the Intramural Bowling Teams
meet in their weekly clash. This past week found the Nav-
CommSta 1 and Public Works 1 Teams continuing to hold
to their first place positions by reaping four points from
their opponents in the American and National Leagues.
Meanwhile, over in the Inter-*^
national League the Admin 1 and
57th FIS 3 Teams share the spot-
light. This should be a fine match
when these two teams meet.
Around the individual leagues
were found many a good score
turned in and a few tears shed
by those who fell below their
averages. John Nyeholt of the
NavCommSta 1 Team stood out
with his fine pin count of 222/235
625. Close behind John was an
All Star teammate Lynch from
Comptroller with a 202/581.
These fellows will make a fine
showing in Norfolk.
Other pin falls had Ludington,
AFI 3 211/279; Major Scarboro,
IDF 207/542; Zeman Compt 1
221/553; Rogge, Rockville 1 218/
568; Lt Norris continuing to find
his mark with a 202/566; and
Dale, NavCommSta 1 214/541.
The keglers from the National
League are by no means to be
slighted. Wood toppled for the
count of 206/210 570 by Heath
of AMD 1. Gusch, Barlant,
fighting against Nyeholt of the
American League had a little bad
luck but turned in a smart
203/211 561. Banker, AFI 1
clipped for a 203/210 570.
What happened to the other
half? Loomis slipped under 500,
it happens to the best. Other
tallies had Hoffman PW 1 573;
Hockett PW 1 579; Atherton
57th 1 545; and Hogan of AFI
with a 215/515.
Natalini of the Security Team
bowls hard and bangs out scores
of 200/201 589 or thereabouts each
week. Pins fell for Jones VP-56
to the tune of 526; Kuhnly a
teammate had 211/511; Sension,
Marines 2 a 528; and Hebler
Rockville 3 a 202/521.
